were operating;
 Whether or not the driver and pas-
senger safety belts were buck-
led/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situa-
tion occurs; no data are recorded by
the EDR under normal driving condi-
tions and no personal data (e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, spe-
cial equipment is required, and access
to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In
addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
 Disclosure of the EDR data
Lexus will not disclose the data recorded in
an EDR to a third party except when:
• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner
(or the lessee for a leased vehicle) is
obtained
• In response to an of ficial request by the
police, a court of law or a government
agency • For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Lexus may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle
safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing
information about the specific vehicle or
vehicle owner
The SRS airbag, seat belt pretensioner
devices and Pop Up Hood system in
your Lexus contain explosive chemi-
cals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the
airbags, seat belt pretensioners and
Pop Up Hood micro gas generators
left as they are, this may cause an acci-
dent such as fire. Be sure to have the
systems of the SRS airbag, seat belt
pretensioner and Pop Up Hood micro
gas generator system removed and
disposed of by a qualified service shop
or by your Lexus dealer before you
scrap your vehicle.
Special handling may apply, See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/ hazardouswaste/
perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may
contain perchlorate. These compo-
nents may include airbag, seat belt pre-
tensioners, Pop Up Hood system, and
wireless remote control batteries.
